'Make Equality Reality' You don't have to hate someone to destroy them

I was listening to Joss Whedon this morning. He is talking about the word "feminists", and how he hates the word because its so ugly and yucky.

He speaks of his love of words and how he thinks a LOT about words, and that particular one is NOT a beautiful word.

He continues to comment that "Taliban" is such a pretty sounding name. (***Adopts an English accent***) "Are you up for a game of Taliban later on?"  (***Adopts an advertiser's accent***)  "Enjoy your vacation at TALIBAN Island!"

He feels that the word feminist sounds like something you acquire knowledge of, like horticulturist.

He says that's silly because you are human and we are born equal, to know that a woman deserves equal status as you should not be something you are indoctrinated about, but something you innately know. And most people don't really hate women.

But he said something that got you thinking...

You don't have to hate someone to destroy them, you just have to not get it.
